Jesus was hungry and he went up to a fig tree that was appeared healthy and was covered with leaves, but it had no fruit, so he cursed the tree and it died. The implication is for those who fail to bear fruit.

Matthew 21:18-20

Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

IMO, all of creation listened when Jesus spoke. Including trees. Jesus did not tell the tree to die. He told it that it would never bear fruit again. The tree soon "withered" immediately.

The tree was a fig tree, if it could bear no figs, for what purpose was it there?
